Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

Aim: To provide a detail design of beam using Etab

Software that i used---Etab

step by step procedure

open the given model file in Etab

select the beams which we are going to design.

hide all other elements.

run analysis

click design concrete frame

check the design preferences .

check the reinforcement details in which the Etab provided should satisfy the code standard

minimum reinforcement =0.24√fck/fy

=0.24x5/500

=2.4 x 10^-3 (ratio)

gross section of beam=300x500

minimum reinforcement =2.4x10^-3 x300x500

=360 mm2

maximum steel ratio=3750 mm2

minimum shear reinforcement as per Is456-2000

Asv=332 mm2

select the design information----longitudinal reinforceing

if we see in Etab reinforcement details the longitudinal reinforcement at any section is not less than 360mm2 and exceed 3750 mm2.

so etabs follow the standards.

longitudinal reinforcement provided should more than the etab reinforcement should not too much it effect in the shear demand.

select the design information-shear reinforcement.

Grid A

top longitudinal reinforcement ---2045

longitudinal provided--(3.14x0.25x20^2x4)+(3.14x0.25x20^2x3)

=>2200 provided

capacity should me more than demand

for shear reinforcement

In grid A shear 3-2 beam is over stress .

exceeded force acting on it.

we need change the grade of cncrete for it.

maximum shear ---15.18----(3.14*0.25*1*2)/0.1 cm2/m.

provided----18.8------(3.14*0.25*0.8^2*3)0.1 cm2/m

3 leg 8mm dia @100mmc/c are going to provided.

Grid B

top longitudinal reinforcement ---1940

longitudinal provided--(3.14x0.25x20^2x3)+(3.14x0.25x25^2x2)

=>1948 provided

capacity should me more than demand

for shear reinforcement

In grid A shear 3-2 beam is over stress .

exceeded force acting on it.

we need change the grade of cncrete for it.

maximum shear ---14.96----(3.14*0.25*1*2)/0.1 cm2/m.

provided----18.8------(3.14*0.25*0.8^2*3)0.1 cm2/m

3 leg 8mm dia @100mmc/c are going to provided.

Take reinforcement info in the ETAB

sketch the reinforcement detailing in the Autocad.

additional bar should not exceed L/4.

As per is 13920 -2016 confining reinforcement details

from face of column face 2d distance vertical reinforcement have to kept.

i have choosen 100 mm spacing

i have provided 175 mm spacing which is less than max 225 mm to the remaining length (≠2d)

Calculate value of the maximum shear force

sway to right

Mas=Z*As*fy*d

=174 KNm

Mbh=Z*As*fy*d

=293 Knm

Lab=4.725m

Vd+1=92 kn

Vua=46kn

vub=230 kn

Mas=Z*As*fy*d

=234 KNm

Mbh=Z*As*fy*d

=155 Knm

Lab=4.725m

Vd+1=70 kn

Vua=185kn

vub=45 kn

maximum shear force=234 knm

Provide reasons for failure of the middle span along grid A. What are the possible ways this issue can be resolved

A.shear force acting on the beam is more

so that it exceed the limit of stress

as per code for m25 grade concrete stress have to maintain below 3.1but incase it is exceeded.

remedies

use m30 grade concrete for this beam.

Result: I provided a detail design of beam using Etab.
